what will be current share price ?
can you plz explain me this qstn how to solve . ans is 1.79$ but i dont understand .
You used the dividend growth formula on the growing dividend.
However because the dividends start 2 years late (and time 3 instead of at time 1) you need to discount the result for 2 years at 10%.
I work through a very similar example in my free lectures on the valuation of securities. You really cannot expect me to type out my lectures again here.
